Fiat 128 3p (3 off, fantastic little "mini Ferraris" but blighted by rust)
Fiat Uno 70SX (my road rally car, served me well)
Alfa Romeo 164 3.0 Lusso (great cruiser, fantastic engine sound)
Alfa Romeo 145 Cloverleaf (great engine again, great chuckability and reliable )
Audi 80 1.8E (reliable but boring, vaguest steering of any car I've owned)
SEAT Leon Cupra (quick, capable, reliable, well built but ultimately a little dull)
Peugeot 309 Diesel (cheap)
Subaru Impreza WRX Wagon (JDM of course)

i've owned loads of 'runabouts' i.e. sierras, cavaliers, clios etc during 12 years of driving.

car's that i consider to have led me to ScoobyDom (TM) with marks out of 10 ...

-Porsche 944 2.5L 5/10 slow, well built
-Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera 7/10 not as fast as I expected, 'interesting' handling, felt really well put together, bulletproof
-Sierra Cosworth (x2) 8/10 great fun when working, bit temperamental!
-Early WRX 7/10 well built and fast
-Nissan 300ZX twin turbo, manual (x2) 7/10 big fast spaceship!!!
-MR2 Turbo (sorry ) 5/10 didn't like the handling, just never bonded to it
-96 WRX modified 7/10 my fave scoob to date. bought from a chap who worked for BAR (F1 Team)
-99 WRX Type RA WRC Edition 7/10 very fast standard car but i'm getting old now lol

Car that led me out of ScoobyDom (TM)

-Lancia Delta Integrale 9/10 looks, rarity, respected, handling,...build quality hmm!

I absolutely adore it, wish I'd got one years ago

W reg Escort Mk2 1.3L - Light Blue - Rear wheel drive....donut time!
X reg Metro 1.0 - Dark Blue - Rear wheel used to lock up on heavy braking!
K reg Rover 214 GSI - Red - Fake wood dash...nice......
M reg 214 SEI - Blue - Erm....half leather 3 door with fake wood dash....
R reg Saxo VTS - Blue - Go kart handling, but got written off.
R reg Saxo 1.0 - Blue - Took in part ex for VTS wreck with some cash!
M reg Escort 1.6 Mistral - Blue - Was moving house so needed something cheap
W reg Vectra 2.5 V6 SRI - Silver - Grunt from 1500rpm to 7000!
R reg Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo - Blue - 220bhp thru front wheels awesome sound
02 reg STI7 - you guessed it....blue - Always wanted one!

If I could have hung on to any of the cars it would have been the Escort mk2 as its the only car I've ever had with rear wheel drive! Miss the Vectra too for sheer grunt whatever the revs. Scooby I have now though is longest I've ever had car, next car is hopefully an M3.
